Frostytech is back with a new low profile heatsink from Arctic Cooling for super slim and super compact Intel PC's - the Freezer 7 LP.

"The Arctic Cooling Freezer
7 LP is a lightweight Intel socket
775 heatsink made specifically for slim-line and book-sized PC cases. It stands
less than 50mm high, weighs just 260 grams and operates very quietly. Although
it's 80mm 600-2000RPM PWM fan is underpowered for high temperature Intel
processors, for the newer generation of sub-85W CPUs, the Freezer 7 LP
is more than satisfactory. The heatsink is officially rated for heat loads up to
a maximum
95W.... we'll still throw 150W at it for fun!"

"Titan's Cool Idol heatsink is made from three separate aluminum fin sections joined
to a copper base by six 6mm diameter copper heatpipes. The heatsink uses
one 120mm PWM fan mounted on vibration absorbing rubber posts that is
capable of spinning from 800-2200RPM. The use of six heatpipes and
three aluminum fin sections is fairly unique, but at 850 grams in
weight the Cool Idol is seriously under supported."

I don't know what I'd do without Frostytech dishing out such great advice on which heatsinks to avoid, and which heatsinks are killer cool.... New from Frostytech is this review of the Evercool Transformer 6!

"Evercool has built the Transformer 6 out of three individual aluminum cooling fin segments, toped by a glistening silver 120mm fan mounted on vibration absorbing rubber posts. The arrangement of the six heatpipes is fairly unique, but more on that in a moment."

"The first thing you'll notice when looking at this
Intel cooler is that NPowertek NPH-775-140HC
looks very much like Intel's retail box thermal solution. The NPH-775-140HC
is rated for heat loads up to 130W, however we'd suggested keeping things
to energy efficient Intel CPUs that have a sub-95W TDP rating."

You can't buy this heatsink yet, but when the new Xigmatek HDT-S1284EE hits store shelves, you're gonna have to know whether you can afford not to have it. It's good, according to Frostytech.

"The Xigmatek HDT-S1284EE heatsink is an extension of the Achilles model, built on the same great frame but with a new fan that offers identical performance and just about the same noise values. At full tilt the HDT-1284EE barely purrs at 44.2dBA, while the Achilles hums away at 42.7dBA. The Xigmatek HDT-S1284EE heatsink features an "exposed heatpipe base" that stacks up very well in the competitive world of AMD and Intel processor cooling."

Frostytech test a Coolermaster heatsink called the GeminII S and give their straight up verdict.

"In this review Frostytech is evaluating the Coolermaster GeminII S - a low height, lower noise, down-exhaust heatsink for Intel socket 775 and AMD socket 754/939/940/AM2+ processors. Coolermaster's GeminII S heatsink stands just 88mm tall and ships with a 120mm fan mounted to its frame. An extra set of brackets allow that fan to be replaced with two 92mm or 80mm fans."

"The Akasa AK-975Cu is a compact little Intel socket 775 heatsink that stands no more than 77mm tall. It comes with a 70mm PWM fan that varies in speed from 1000-3500RPM, and a convenient patch of pre-applied thermal compound on its base. The cooler is based on a copper block with aluminum fins and a pair of copper heatpipes to help distribute the heat to stubby cooling fins. All joints are soldered to lower thermal resistance.

The heatsink is compatible with socket 775 Intel Pentium D/4 and Core 2 Duo CPUs, specifically in a 2U rack mountable chassis environment. If you recall, servers and other rack mounted enclosures are packaged in boxes that conform to the 1U, 2U, 3U etc. sizes. Each Unit of space is equivalent to 1.75" (44mm)."
